Abstract

A new solid phase synthetic strategy for the production of organic semiconductors has been developed. The strategy uses a germanium-based linker and Suzuki-type cross-coupling protocols and has been demonstrated for the iterative synthesis of both a regio-regular oligo-3-alkyl-thiophene and an oligoarylamine. The process also incorporates a novel “doublecoupling” after each iteration which minimizes deletion sequences. The key steps exploits the susceptibility of α-silyl- or α-silyloxy- but not germyl-substituted derivatives toward nucleophilic ipso-protodemetalation.
